Why would you need always-running wpa_supplicant? The whole point
of /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh is to write something like in
interfaces(5):
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
and to start and stop wpa_supplicant with ifup and ifdown.

The beauty of so called 'Roaming Mode' (see README.Debian) is complete
independence of implementation of init. As long as init allows ifup and
ifdown, of course.
